So I'm a huge Chris Cornell fan... and I really love HIS version of Billy Jean...

I also am watching American Idol this season...Up till now, I've enjoyed David Cook... I thought he was cocky, but a really good vocalist. Then I watch him tonight singing Billy Jean... pretty much verbatim to Chris Cornell's version... and that's OK! EXCEPT... that he stood there and took full credit for taking such a risk on the song arrangement... To me, it made the judges look ridiculous... because the song HAD been done like that already, and their praising his originality...


Just had to rant to someone...
